Kusinara
The place of Buddha's Passing
The Buddha's last days are described in the Pali
text called the Great Parinirvana Sutra
(Parinirvana meaning "completed nirvana"). The
Buddha's living nirvana, achieved during
enlightenment, at death transforms to nirvana
without human residue. Self possessed, without
psychological pain, untroubled by the thoughts of
death, the Buddha identifies four places of future
pilgrimage: the sites of his birth, enlightenment,
first sermon, and death.
